@AzadHindFauz   @whatonly @nerdfighter @Villanelle and all users active on this thread 


Is it the right time to have the mains 2021 thread like you all had last year?  There is really some very useful resources on that thread. Maybe post prelims would be the right time as everyone would be deep in mains prep. If not now, can someone initiate the same post prelims as I'm still a noob on forum to start something like this.

That thread of mains 2020 was only started after prelims by AHF... I’m actually really amazed by how much everyone is focusing on mains in the postponement this year! It did not even occur to me last year :p Or maybe people were discussing it last year too, I wasn’t on forum then.

I don’t think there’s a right or wrong time for a thread, but since most people seem to be deciding to focus on optional for now, you may not get much traction :)


Thought so, people must be focusing majorly on ethics and optional. I hope you or AHF or someone take the initiative post prelims. :p 
 



I don't think people are focussing on mains this year more. At least in my case, 2021 is just 2020 on loop. Did prelims till may mid then switched to mains prep till July. Similar case for all my peers.

You forgot the O.G.@AzadHindFauz!

Not going to lie, I do think we’re very cool :p 

I had to google O.G. 
It seems you all are ganging up on me; trying to send me an impression that I have been living under a rock.

I've started listening to the podcasts and am also looking up memes on Twitter. Keep trying, I won't give up!

I understand the inevitable need to mug up stuff for this exam but I am just too lazy to do Anki/active recall/flash card stuff and spend hours staring at screens (as if I don’t do that already, but that’s not the point)?

Summarising and re-reading wale log bhi exam nikalte honge. We want representation :P

Ditto :p

This exactly. I feel intimidated by all these cool new hacks and tools.

Glad you brought this up. Guys, any recommendations for conspiracy-thriller movies?

Am I the only chomu who got so excited reading the podcast discussion that they immediately got a Spotify subscription, only to see the comment about the free google app a few minutes later, and then the length of those podcasts a few more minutes later? :p

@AzadHindFauz The Man from Earth (barely a conspiracy movie but I feel like UPSC peeps will love it) and JFK. Whatever you do, don't watch the trailer for man from earth and just dive in - it's worth it.

One does not simply buy a Spotify subscription. The ideal way is to be a complete cheapskate and use the free plan and to put up with the annoying  ads they play after literally every 3 songs. :P

Haha, I put that comment for a purpose. I was/am sure of forum peeps being very 'Jugaadu'. I knew someone would suggest a free alternative :p


I am using Google podcasts :)

@Villanelle Pro tip: Open it in the browser, there's no ads whatsoever :c (Assuming everyone has a free adblock add-on ofc).

I put up with it while listening to songs but I thought when one is chasing knowledge kanjoosi beech mein nai aani chahiye :(

Google podcast has one benefit which Spotify doesn't. It gives you more control over speed of the audio. 1.5x is slow. 2 is like okay. 2.5x is like very fast. Something between 1.8 to 2.10 is perfect, depending on the speaker.
